🏈 Bama's First Offensive Play vs. UT?

[alabama mike]

What is the first offensive playBama runs on Sat. in Knoxville?

 

[UAgrad93]

I'm going with the tried and true based on field position. 35yd line out, play action to Deandrew White. Inside our own 30yd line, we run the stretch play with Yeldon to the left.

I'm going with a replay: Sims to Cooper for 80 Yards to the end zone.

@rick4bama Curious—replay from...

@uagrad93 Not a bad guess, IMO. We've opened up the last two games with Sims to White.

 

[BamaFan334]

Give me a play action pass deep to Cooper. I think our coaching staff is going after the throat quick to keep the momentum from last week rolling.

 

[jdpas29]

Yeldon up the middle for 4.75 yards.

@TerryP Im sorry I was thinking about the 80 yard pass play, from the 1973 game. Wasn't that a first play pass?

Love to see a play action deep pass to Cooper, but I predict we play it safer with a run for Yeldon to the left side. 3-4 yards. Maybe after the first 1st down, we open it up.

My skepticism worked last week so I will try it again. A quick out/ bubble screen that loses 2 yards.

Sounds like a trivia question to me, Rickey. I've not a clue. I believe I have the '73 game on VHS...but there's the issue of a VHS player.

I'm going with a replay: Sims to Cooper for 80 Yards to the end zone.

Ditto

 

[alabama mike]

Twins left, split right with Yeldon offset. Quick hitting pass play to the WR on the left getting a kick out block from the flanker.

 

[Bamabww]

Yelden off left tackle for 8 or 9 yards.

@TerryP This was what I was posting about

Alabama scored on the game's very first play as Gary Rutledge threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to Wayne Wheeler.

happen in the 1973 game with Tennessee.
